Need To Be Stubborn?

Things haven't gotten any better over here. I am still jobless and I can feel the pressure getting greater and greater. I've been trying to figure out what would be a good fit for me but everyone around me keeps telling me to take whatever I can get and has given me this long list of places to try. Most of these places aren't actually hiring so I have wasted so much time on these useless leads to jobs I don't even want. I do need to get a job soon though. I can see that my aunt and uncle don't want to keep spending money on me. They said that if I came to live with them then they would take responsibility for me. I guess that meant just for a couple of months. I've explained how easily I get depressed when stuck in a job that I hate but that always gets glossed over for the "What would you do if you didn't have family helping you?" argument. I acknowledge that things would have to be different in that situation, but I'm not in that situation so what is the point of acting like I am?

Maybe someone has some better advice but until I hear it, I guess I'm going to have to be stubborn and do things the way I think are best for me. Maybe?

About Me

I have been spending some time trying to figure out what I want out of life and what steps I need to take in life to get what I want. I have decided to focus on teaching journal therapy and have been researching what my options are and what I need to do to achieve that. I hope to eventually make that my career. I am also interested in poetry and photography. I hope to continue to cultivate my creativity and maybe even make them both side careers.

Why I Blog

This blog is mostly a way for me to navigate my very muddled journey to self-discovery. My past has caused me to put up walls to protect myself. Now those walls are hindering me and I'm determined to break them down.

I'm also using this blog as a way to post my writing anonymously. I love to write but I'm super insecure about it. Opening myself up to criticism scares me to death. My creative self is incredibly fragile. But I desire to improve so I have to do it.

This blog is going to be an outlet for me as well. Posting pictures, quotes, inspiring writing, and my random thoughts is a way for me to keep them and refer to them whenever I need to.
